Enjoy!

a note from Paula

Ashlyn is not having a good night, her sodium levels have dropped and she has been throwing up and gagging all night, not to mention she skin is not taking to well to the chemo :( I really hate this part it tears me apart to see her so sick, these are the nights I feel like I just can't do this anymore, it is such an awful feeling to know there is nothing you can do to make it better, I can't do this :(

 Paula

Back to the hospital for round 3 of Chemo... blood counts are border line so Ashlyn will have to have a transfusion...and she has gained a little bit of weight...=) Hoping for the best today!

its been a while!

Ashlyn had a CT scan this week to check the tumor and it is not growing but not shrinking either... So that's great news!

Baby Ashlyn was able to come home to McGill for Christmas! YAY!! The family is so excited to be together again! It has been a while since they were all home together. They will have to head back on the 26 for Ashlyn to be admitted to the hospital to undergo her next round of Chemo.

The other Kids, Aubrey, Adalie, Ayla, and Adler, were bouncing off the walls this evening you can tell they have missed their mommy!

I got to visit them for a minute this evening and Paula is Radiant! She truly has our Lord and his angels with her at this time of heartache and trial!

And Baby Ashlyn is such a precious little Angel she has the most love and peace in her eyes.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity I have to know them personally and to get to update others on the progress and story along the way....

As always thank you for your love, prayers and support!

Sorry there hasn't been alot of new updates lately. Baby's blood count was low as of last Thursday and she's had to have 2 new feeding tubes put back in, she keeps pulling them out. =(

I would like to send a special thanks to all of you who have made personal donations there have been some pretty substantial donations made, and I know they are greatly appreciated!

As Always thank you for your continued love, support and prayers they are greatly appreciated!

today Ashlyn had clinic, on Saturday Ashlyn pulled out her feeding tube so today it got replaced :(  it was awful for both of us, she is not gaining weight the way she should, Im told she is the same size of a good size newborn not that of a seven week old. Blood counts are pretty low as well :( hoping they dont fall even more fingers crossed---Paula

KSL Story

Here is the interview ksl did with Paula and Baby Ashlyn. Even though I know the family personally and the story it truly touched my heart to see them on TV to see how alert and happy this sweet little baby is despite her trial in life, and to see Paula's strength, it is truly inspiring.

KSL!!!

Tune into night at 5 NV 6 UT time to hear Ashlyns Story in an interview done earlier today with Paula. I am anxiously awaiting to hear and see her on TV! Oh and its on KSL channel 5... glad I didn't forget that lol =D

Back...

Baby Ashlyn is back in the hospital for her second round of Chemo. They will stay there for a few days and head back to Tooele to rest.

Ashlyn has her first blood transfusion today.... Mommy is nervous...

As the fight goes on we would like to express our continued appreciation for all your thoughts, prayers and support you, as I, will never know the impact it is making on the McKay family. As baby Ashlyn fights for her health our support will help lift the family.  Thanks again....Lindsey Duffy
